This recipe is from the March 2006 issue of Cooking Light magazine. I used locally grown organic greens and fresh sushi-grade tuna.
To make the SALAD combine:
1/2 cup fresh snow peas (steam 3 minutes before adding)
1 cup torn Bibb lettuce (I used spring mix and arugala)
1 cup thinly sliced radishes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons radish sprouts (I used bean sprouts)
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons mirin
TUNA
1 teaspoon canola oil
4 (6-oz) sushi-grade tuna streaks (we used a single steak)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |


To cook the tuna sprinkle with salt, heat oil over medium high heat and cook 2 minutes each side or until desired degree of doneness.
<-- We used sushi grade tuna and cooked it until just seared. Cut into 1/4 inch slices.
To make the DRESSING combine the following in a food processor until well blended:
3 tablespoons silken tofu
1 1/2 tablespoons wasabi powder (this may have been a typo--I would start with half this amount unless you enjoy pain)
|
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon mirin
5 tablespoons water (add while blending)
The dressing will have a creamy consistency when done, but as you can tell here it's a bit thinner than your standard bottled salad dressing. |

Very easy (but tastes fancy!) |
